NATCA factually
reports that the Congress is about to authorize ATC privatization by
allowing the FAA to offer 69 FAA air traffic control towers to the

lowest
private sector bidder.

I bid $1 - is that low enough to get them? How about 1c? How about

just
giving me the lot.

Surely you mean the highest bidder??????



Err, no. I mean *lowest* bidder. The idea is to save money. The FAA

(and
your taxes) pays for the infrastructure.


No, the idea is to find a way around ATC unions blocking automation.


No, the latter is the motive of contractors like *you*, Tarver, not for the
*actual* real-life users and operators of the safest ATC system in the
world...
